An airplane jet-stream disperses among the clouds, as if the spectral fossil of a giant snake were being atomized. The air is full of sea-salt, adding resistance to the upward-rushing wind. The space inside my body is exactly the same as the space outside of it. Boundless. My throat widens...if the black holes in my eyes are big enough, they could swallow the world before it crushes me.
